Jake's first tour with Ozzy was the Bark at the Moon tour in 1984. That was also the year that the Summer Olympics came to Los Angeles. It was also an all around great year. Trust me. I was there. In Los Angeles. In 1984. His last tour with Ozzy was The Ultimate Sin tour in 86-87. In 87 Jake was fired from Ozzy. As a result the stock market crashed. In 1989 Badlands released their first album. By then the economy was better. Also, WASP released the tragically underrated The Headless Children. Also, Lethal Weapon 2 came out and it was much better than Lethal Weapon 3 and 4 combined, even though 4 had Jet Li (Lee?). Had Jake E. Lee, the guitar ninja, been in Lethal Weapon 4 it would have been a lot better.
